When your lifestyle depends on keeping things the same forever and ever, you are always the victim as progress is inevitable.
When you claim to follow Jesus and deliberately refuse to follow His commandment–treat others as you want to be treated–you are mocking God. And God will only allow Himself to be mocked for so long.
But their religion itself has changed as the world has changed – in their bible, plural marriages were common, as were concubinage, slavery, stoning, murder, and incest. This no different than the eating of shellfish, mixing of crops/fabrics thing. They are being selective as to which parts of their bible they are adhering to, and ignoring the parts that are inconvenient for them.
They also fail to recognize that in the past 100 or so years, marriage has gone from an institution where women and children were basically chattel owned by the husband to a more equal partnership where all parties have rights.
In my own 50 or so years in this earth, it’s changed – almost everyone’s mother was a stay-at-home mom when I was a kid, and had been since the day she was married (kids usually happened within a year or two at most – often a lot of them). It’s rarity today.
Family size has also changed. When I was growing up, in a class of 60 kids, only two or three of us were only children, a few had one other sibling, but the rest of us had anywhere from 3 or four siblings up to 15 siblings – 6 to 10 was not all that unusual. Unheard of these days.
Yet I never hear them decrying these changes.
Funny, there used to be long lines at Klan and Nazi rallies too. It’s interesting how things that were so popular at the time have a tendency to fade away…
Let the bigots have their chicken. Meanwhile, they are supporting marriage equality every time the use a Google search, or a Microsoft product, or drink at Starbucks. If equality were won by the products we purchase, we would have had this in the bag since the early 2000s. Unfortunately it is not, so let’s not be distracted by this paltry appreciation day. We have more important things to do.
